PFE Coach
A modern study app for the USAF Promotion Fitness Examination (PFE) based on Air Force Handbook 1.
About the app
PFE Coach is a modern study app for US Air Force (USAF) non-commissioned officers preparing for the Promotion Fitness Examination (PFE) for the ranks of SSgt (E-5) and TSgt (E-6). The content is based on the public Air Force Handbook 1 (AFH 1, February 15, 2025 edition).
The app allows you to read the material chapter by chapter, listen to audio narration, practice exam-style questions, solve Situational Judgement Test (SJT) scenarios, and review flashcards using the spaced repetition algorithm (FSRS). Study progress and question coverage are tracked per chapter so the user knows how much is left.
PFE Coach is an unofficial study aid. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Department of Defense (DoD) or the US Air Force (USAF).
